In photographic objectives having a high speed of lens and a large field of vision it is required that the sum of the Petzval curvatures (2P) should be small and that, at the same time, the distortion should be small and the sphericalchromatical aberration should be corrected.

Known objectives of the type described possess, at a high speed of lens, a Petzval sum which lies within limits of +0.16? to +0287. but they are intended for a smaller field of vision or are attended with a greater distortion than the obj ective according to the invention.

In both mentioned examples of this invention the sum of the Petzval curvatures is approximately EP=|0.204, the distortion being +25% so that these objectives can be used with advantage in cinematographic cameras.
